A vehicle template provides a set of preset values, templates, that streamline the process of configuring a vehicle. Access this template through the 'Edit Vehicle' and 'Add Vehicle' buttons in the Vehicles tab of the portal. As there might be any number of defined templates, the user can associate labels with the different vehicle templates in order to make them more accessible and searchable.
Vehicle template window
In the template window, you'll find dedicated columns for vehicles, clearly labeled under the 'Vehicle' header. These column values are applied directly to the vehicle when the template is applied. Additionally, a dynamic 'Filters' header appears when adding a template with filters, automatically updating as the user modifies the template.
The idea behind associating filters with the templates is that these filters can act as a way to know which template to use for a vehicle. Assume you have three filters created to be used with the templates, "vehicle type", "vehicle color" and "resource group". As filters support values you can assign different values to different vehicle templates. An example of this is available in the figure "Vehicle templates example" where there are three templates showing and different values have been assigned to the different filters and templates. If a user was looking for an electric vehicle in Europe, one could search for "electric" in "vehicle type" and for "EU" in the comment. By looking at the value in for the "resource group"-filter the user also knows which resource group the vehicle should be added to after applying the settings.
The template window contains several different functions, including:
- Add Template - This function adds a new template to the template window.
- Edit Template - This function allows the user to edit an existing template. A row must be selected for this button to be enabled.
- Apply Template - This function allows the user to apply the template to the vehicle. A row must be selected for this button to be enabled. Only the "Vehicle settings" will be applied.
- Remove - This button removes a selected template
- Close - This button closes the Vehicle template window.
